Why?
Authored by: cshuman on Nov 30, '04 03:36:17PM

I had a drive with 2 partitions, System and Users. The drive went bad and the computer wouldn't boot. It just kept making a sound like a spring being flicked, kind of a twangy sound and then nothing. I installed the os on a new drive and put the old drive in as a secondary. Although the entire System partition was gone the the Users partition would still mount to allow me to save all the important stuff. The system isn't important in an instance like this. I have partitioned the same way on every subsequent install.
